Google Home App Update Introduces Improved Automations for Smart Home Devices
Google is rolling out a new batch of 20 starters, conditions, and actions in the Google Home app to give users more control and customise their actions. The update allows users to automate actions like media playback, appliance control, and security systems. It includes actions to open or close smart blinds, and perform resume, pause or dock actions with the robot vacuum. More Google Home automation features are confirmed to be in the works, and they will be available in the coming weeks.
